Looking ahead to a new year, and wondering-
(ZCS OS )
A user has many thousands of email in "Sent"...Would it be better to make him a new Sent folder to hold "2007" history, or leave this year's messages in the main Sent folder?

He has already put 7.000 Sent msgs from year 2006 into a 2006 folder...
Would it be better to move these back into current folder?
If so, how best to move these back (not 100 at a time...)?

Easiest way to move insanely large quantities of messages is to log in using an IMAP client--Outlook Express, Thunderbird, or your other favorite--and drag-and-drop them from the client.

If you're not short of space, why not just leave them in the sent folder? By moving them out you are breaking the 'threading' of messages.

Bill, this is what I'm seeing.
As "Sent", in a subfolder...the messages only show who sent them (this user), instead of who this user Sent the messages "To".
Kind of dumb.
I think I may see if User wants them moved back into current Sent folder.
This is Pres and CEO, of the company, so I have to be a little careful.
Plus -- he was the last holdout to leave Outlook, so he is the Head Skeptic, too.
thanks.

(the IMAP idea makes the most sense)
